| Basically has same characteristics as a regular [[SPAMAYL]], except the naps are longer on this one. The amount of naps needed also can be decreased compared to SPAMAYL with shorter naps, which makes this easier to schedule around the day. Also, similarly to Metaman and Metamaxion, SPAMAYL-40 is a bit more double for regular people. This schedule was suggested by many people, partially done by Sporky once, who mixed it with shorter naps too though. Longer naps had an architecture of mini-cores, often containing both SWS or REM or one of this stage being dominant. Sporky's average sleep cycle is close to 90 minutes on monophasic sleep, which either was compressed so much or used a wake time programming method to insert some light sleep at the end of the naps, which made waking up easier. Similarly to the above mentioned schedules, SPAMAYL-40 doesn't allow for long uninterrupted SWS episodes, which likely is unhealthy for the glymphatic system process. | | Basically has same characteristics as a regular [[SPAMAYL]], except the naps are longer on this one.

| Taking any regular schedule with extended nap(-s), a new schedule of this category will be the result. An example includes [[DC1|DC1-modified]] on a picture near this paragraph, which has a 40-minute nap outside of the REM peak. The mechanism of this likely differs from the pronap-only schedules above, since the total sleep time is much higher and the compression levels are much lower. Also all needed SWS should easily be placed in the cores, which possibly will allow longer naps have little-to-no SWS, thus making them more refreshing initially. It is unclear if the wake time programming will be applicable in this case too, but this is worth experimenting. Longer naps on the regular polyphasic schedules might also compensate for a bit shortened cores (e.g. a DC1 variant with 3h + 1.5h cores, or a [[E2]] variant with a 4h core). | | Taking any regular schedule with extended nap(-s), a new schedule of this category will be the result.
